1. Introduction & Characteristics
Thank you for buying the KNS8 ! Read this manual carefully before bringing the KNS8 into use.
• Build a gearbox and learn how automatic transmissions and motors work.
• Easy to build, no glue or soldering required.
• Dislodge the pre-cut pieces when you need them and not before. Sand the jagged edges before use (sandpaper
included)
• The kit is powered by 2 AA-batteries (not included).
The kits of the KNS-series are supplied with prepunched boards, a gearbox, gears, shafts, a switch, a motor, a
battery holder and all necessary parts.
Note that the figures with the assembly instructions can be found in the second folder "KNS8 – Figures"!!!
